Sometimes you don't know how good you have it until it's gone… and sometimes, you're stupid enough to think you're holding a winning hand when you've been dealt a 2-7 offsuit. If you're 'Josh' right now, you're probably listening to sad Charlie Brown music and wondering how it all went so wrong.

What started as a simple dispute over housing costs erupted into a relationship-ending disagreement after this woman turned to the internet for advice and to have them weigh in on the argument. The gist is that this younger breadwinning girlfriend was looking to have her single-dad boyfriend move in with his daughter into the house she owns. He's currently paying $1800 in rent for his current rental, and after the couple discussed him moving in, she agreed but asked that he contribute $700 a month towards her mortgage. He has objected to this, expecting him and his daughter to stay in the house for free, leading to a series of events that saw the original poster returning to share that she had split from her boyfriend.
